Ileal Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumor (GIST) Presenting With a Liver Abscess: A Case Report and Review of the Literature.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) are rare small intestinal tumors. Due to challenging diagnoses, the majority of patients typically report chronic problems. Early diagnosis and the start of appropriate treatment depend on high suspicion. We present a case of a 47-year-old male patient who first experienced fever, nausea, vomiting, and pain in the right upper quadrant. Radiologic examinations showed an intra-abdominal tumor containing oral contrast and a liver lesion, indicating gastrointestinal tract involvement. He had an ileal GIST that created a fistula between the tumor and the small intestine, complicated by a liver abscess. We surgically removed the tumor and intra-operatively drained the liver abscess. A liver lesion found in conjunction with a small intestine GIST should cause concern for both the possibility of infectious complications such as a pyogenic liver abscess and metastatic illness. The uncommon appearance of an ileal GIST with a tumor-intestinal fistula, accompanied by a liver abscess, is reviewed in this case report.
